Advisory Committee Open Licensing Dialogue Notes

August 2016

Vancouver Foundation asked our Advisory Committee members to help us take a ‘big picture’ look at our grant making work to determine if we could see any major opportunities or risks ahead of us when asking grantees to openly license their work – a requirement due to launch in January 2017.

At Vancouver Foundation, our Advisory Committee members decide which projects get funding, after reviewing multiple applications that have undergone extensive review and validation by our grant managers. Advisors debate the merits of these applications, and apply their real-world expertise to evaluating which projects represent the best use of a limited pool of funds.
